Since we're already into double entendres, there's a bit of language fun that's actually quite funny:
When I was suggesting that one of the players played a beguiler for the new campaign, I of course got a lot of laughs.
See, the English word "guile" sounds exactly like the German word "geil", which can mean cool, hot (arousing) and horny. I was more or less the only one in the room who knew about the English word (plus, I had the advantage of reading the class name first - they don't look the same, they just sound the same).
A similar thing was when I read through the list of instruments and then asked aloud: "Hey, what's German for lyre... oh wait." (Again, they sound the same, but until I read it aloud, I didn't make the connection.)

Back in the early days of 3E...
I had started up a campaign using The Sunless Citadel and we were all in the process of learning the new rules. I was describing how initiative works, "So, initiative is your dex modifier..."
My poor wife, pregnant and already half-asleep, started giggling hysterically. The rest of us looked at her cross-eyed until she said, "I heard your initiative is your @$$ on fire."
To this day, when one of us is having stomach problems, we say sympathetically, "Got a high initiative?"
Wife says:
As the wife in that scenario, let me say-don't let him fool you.
Yes, I said it; it's amazing what one hears at 11 pm when pregnant and trying to not fall asleep at the table.
As for one of his faux pas'...
That particular campaign was played with half dragons. I was playing an elven red half dragon. When the group was ambushed by a winter wolf (long, involved story), my character took the brunt of the breath attack. My darling, loving, fooooolllish husband ruled that my character took double damage due to her dragon type. Not only did he tell me, quite heartlessly as only a DM can, that she died instantly, he also grabbed my character sheet, crumpled it (for emphasis according to him), and tossed it unceremoniously over his shoulder. "Make a new character." Being pregnant, and again at about 11 pm or so, I start to cry. She was one of my favorite characters, and we had found a group where the concept worked really well. They continued on while I, having fallen in love with the half dragon template, looked it up in the MM. Needless to say, I took great pleasure in telling him that my character had, in fact, NOT died, she had just taken a large hit. After he looked over the template in the MM, he sheepishly handed my character sheet back to me, and we rewound the game to the point where my character did NOT die. The other ladies at the table razzed him about it, too, and the husbands all looked at him in sympathy and "dude, that was stupid" written all over their faces.

I had a high initiative after that one.

Ah, that part didn't cause the infighting. One of the characters killed a beggar in the port city they entered, and stole a copper off his body. The other characters seemed more pissed about the copper than the killing, IIRC. In any case, they started fighting, and we had to put the whole thing on hold (was mainly one player, really). Luckily now we've had the campaign going for a while and it's starting to get faster and faster, so we cover a lot of ground.donremus said:Wow that's some serious shi+. Doesn't seem much to fight about, just have a few laughs and back on track.
Loved the stunning sucked off snatch stories
